When the sky was about to get dark, and the group was about to leave Bai's house and go to Mingjing Lake, where the corpses appeared the most, Pei Zhuoan deliberately called Ning Xiang aside and asked her openly and secretly about her opinion of Bai Yun.

"I saw that Senior Sister seemed to be very concerned about Senior Brother Bai Yun after coming down the mountain, but Senior Sister suddenly felt that Senior Brother Bai Yun was a good person?"

Pei Zhuo'an asked this, and the black and white lychee eyes were staring at Ning Xiang's face, so that when she had any change in expression, he could notice it immediately.

Ning Xiang was a little inexplicable: "Senior Brother Bai Yun has always been nothing to fault with him, how can you ask that?" Besides, I was concerned about him, and I also saw that his situation at home was a little bad, so I thought that as his fellow disciple, I would help him one or two, what's wrong? ”

"Is that all?" Pei Zhuoan looked into Ning Xiang's eyes, afraid that he would see some emotions that should not appear in it.

Fortunately, the results are good.

"Well, naturally." Ning Xiang bowed, "But how do I feel, you look a little weird now." ”

It doesn't seem to be the first time this has been the case, recalling it carefully, but whenever she gets too close to any man, Pei Zhuoan will make a look of being too nervous.

It's like yes.

"Is there one? Why don't I feel it? Pei Zhuoan interrupted Ning Xiang's thoughts with a loud voice, and changed the topic to talk about Mingjing Lake, which he was going to go to later.

"Since so many people have died in this place, but I haven't heard that any officers and soldiers have come to investigate, senior sister doesn't think that this matter may not have been done by the spirit beast named Qianchen Beast himself?"

Most of the strength levels of the former dust beasts are generally in the middle stage of foundation building, and there are very few at the peak of foundation building, and in the situation that Ning Xiang heard from Bai Yun, among them, there are even those who are in the Jindan stage, which is indeed a bit incredible.

She touched her chin and went to look for Bai Yun, intending to ask about it again, but she didn't notice that Pei Zhuo'an, who was following her, breathed a sigh of relief.

The possessiveness and affection that I had when I looked at her back were more intense than before.

All this was noticed by Mo Yinxing, who was closely observing Ning Xiang's movements, and there was a little more gloom between his eyebrows.

Liu Shiqi also noticed it, and used the bond of master and servant to appease Mo Yinxing: "Master, it's okay, Ning Xiang doesn't seem to have any thoughts about Pei Zhuo'an, he just wants to covet it, and he can only stay at the stage of thinking, unlike you, you can officially marry her in the near future and have a husband and wife ceremony with her." ”

Liu Shiqi's words of comfort blew away the low pressure that shrouded Mo Yinxing's side, and after he withdrew his gaze, thinking about the fact that he had already had a husband and wife ceremony with Ning Xiang in advance, his heart suddenly felt a lot better.

Yes, no matter how much others covet Ning Xiang, her people, including one of her hearts, belong to him.

Mingjing Lake is located in the northernmost part of Qiwu Town, on Qiwu Mountain.

If you want to go up, you need to climb the 1,300 long stone steps.

When Ning Xiang climbed the stone steps, he looked at the remaining stone steps in front of him, remembered the short body of the former dust beast, turned his head to look at the treasure hunting mouse that was in the smaller state, and the former dust beast should be too much different in size, and asked it, if it was allowed to climb up on foot, would it be considered easy?

The treasure hunt rat's eyes widened: "What do you say?!" Such a long stone staircase, even if you people climb it, you have to be tired enough, not to mention rats and rats, my little arms and legs beast. ”

"But when you ask, are you wondering how the Former Dust Beast managed to go up the mountain so often and bring people to Mirror Lake?"

Ning Xiang nodded: "Well, even if it can release gas that reminds people of the past, making people trapped by illusions and the past, it still needs to lure people with gas all the way and climb more than a thousand long steps, but with its size that is not much different from you, I don't think it can do it frequently, unless."

"Someone helped it, or got the gas it produced."

Mo Yinxing interjected and said something that Ning Xiang couldn't finish.

"What Xing Daoyou said is indeed reasonable, but it doesn't make sense, because the gas of the former dust beast can't be produced if it doesn't want to." Bai Yun walked to Ning Xiang's side and added.

When Pei Zhuoan heard this, he told Ning Xiang that he had told Ning Xiang once that no officers and soldiers had investigated the matter.

"I feel that there should be a great possibility that it has something to do with the people in the government, but whether it is or not, it's not easy to say at the moment, and I have to find someone from the government to ask."

At present, the stairs climbed by a few people are not too high, less than fifty steps.

After listening to what Pei Zhuo'an said, Ning Xiang stopped climbing and proposed: "Otherwise, let's divide our soldiers into two ways, see which two people go to investigate the affairs of the official mansion, and which two go to Mingjing Lake to wait first?" ”

As soon as she said this, Pei Zhuoan and Amer almost said in unison that they wanted to join her.

After listening to Ning Xiang's speechlessness, she directly made a decision to let Amer and Pei Zhuoan work together, but whether to investigate the affairs of the official mansion or go to Mingjing Lake first depends on how they choose.

"Senior sister, you and Senior Brother Baiyun stay in Mingjing Lake, over there in the official mansion, as the former prince of the Dachang Dynasty, I still have some understanding, and if I go, the investigation speed should be faster than you go."

Pei Zhuo'an's words were reasonable, and after Ning Xiang thought about it, she nodded in response.

"Okay, then you two be careful all the way, if you encounter any changes or things that can't be solved on the way, remember to contact me and Senior Brother Baiyun as soon as possible."

After the division of labor was done, Ning Xiang and Bai Yun climbed for about half an hour, and finally arrived at the mountain.

There is still a long way to go between Mingjing Lake and their location, and the fog on the mountain is thick, and looking into the depths of the secluded forest at this time when the sky is dark and not dark, gives people a creepy sense of discomfort.

There are many trees in this place, which is not suitable for Edgeworth to fly, so Ning Xiang asked the treasure hunt rat to release the treasure hunt rat No. 2, and she and Bai Yun rode one by one to Mingjing Lake.

Bai Yun glanced sideways at the girl with a vigilant and serious face, remembered her help during the day, and thanked her loudly.

"No, if you really want to thank yourself, you should thank yourself."

Ning Xiang said, and probed the surrounding situation uneasily, and after making sure that he didn't smell any dangerous breath, he looked at the young man who seemed to be very similar to before, with a gentle look in his eyes, and he looked like a good bully.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but talk to him about his attitude towards people in Mingyue Peak.

"I know that your temperament should be related to the influence of your relatives and the atmosphere that has been going on for many years, but Senior Brother Bai Yun, now that you can make up your mind to get rid of your mother's control, it is not impossible to try to change your temperament."

"If you can focus more on yourself and not spend so much energy on some meaningless people or things, your current cultivation will not necessarily be worse than mine, don't you think?"

When Ning Xiang said this, her eyes flickered, obviously she said this and had other intentions.

Ning Xiang: Looking for a successor in advance.
